In this sermon, Elder Joe Francis discusses the Book of Proverbs, focusing on chapter 4 and the pursuit of godly wisdom. He uses the metaphor of Christians as sheep living among pigs (non-Christians) to illustrate the challenge of living godly lives in an ungodly world. The sermon emphasizes that wisdom is a skill that requires discipline and that parents, especially fathers, have the responsibility to teach their children godly wisdom rather than relying on schools or society. Francis provides practical suggestions for pursuing wisdom, including disconnecting from digital distractions, reading the Bible regularly, and making good choices based on godly principles. He concludes by emphasizing that true wisdom and knowledge can only be found through a relationship with Jesus Christ.
